[Webinar] Building the Plane While Flying It: Reinventing a Company That Still Works

In this webinar, Charlie O'Donnell of nextNYC talks with Propeller Industries founder Chris Fenster and CEO Raymond Nieuwenhuizen for an unusually candid conversation about the strategic decision every founder eventually faces: do you rebuild while things are still good, or wait until you're out of runway?

​Most companies transform because they're forced to when a market shifts, revenue stalls, or a competitor eats their lunch. Propeller Industries is doing something harder: deliberately dismantling and rebuilding a business that's still working.

​Chris Fenster, the founder, and Raymond Nieuwenhuizen, the CEO he recruited to lead the change, join Charlie O'Donnell

​They'll talk through it from both seats: the founder's identity crisis when a company outgrows its original design, how you sequence a transformation when the existing business can't stop, and what it means to run the same play internally that you sell to clients every day.

​This is not a turnaround story or a post-mortem. It's a live account of the hardest call in company-building made on purpose, out loud, and while the plane's still in the air.
